Are the going to the pp_checkout_failure page?


if so add the following code on the failure page to get the response back from paypal:

php:
<?php

if(!session_id()) session_start(); 
echo(
"Auth request: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Auth_Request'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Auth_Request']:""."<br /><br />");
echo(
"Auth Result: ".isset($_SESSION['"ECO_Auth_Result'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Auth_Result']:""."<br /><br />");
echo(
"Get Request: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Get_Request'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Get_Request']:""."<br /><br />");
echo(
"Get Result: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Get_Result'])?$_SESSION['"ECO_Get_Result']:""."<br /><br />");
echo(
"Preocess request: ".isset($_SESSION['"ECO_Process_Request'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Process_Request']:""."<br /><br />");
echo(
"Process Result: ".isset($_SESSION['ECO_Process_Result'])?$_SESSION['ECO_Process_Result']:""."<br /><br />");
?>

The sale was going through yesterday and It just wasn't getting the order confirmation page or email...now after the customer comes back from paypal they get the message "the cart is empty"...not the confirmation page to submit the sale.

I no longer get the cart is empty message...the behaviour is that the customer goes out to paypal and after logging in, comes back and presses submit on the confirm page...then they get the message " token has already been used" on the pp_checkout_failure page...however the sale still goes through on paypal...also the cuteomer does not get the confirmation email. So they get an error message and no confirmation email but the sale goes through. This is in production right now.

Add the following to the checkout success page:

php:
<?php

// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
session_start();

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
    
setcookie(session_name(), ''time()-42000'/');
}

// Finally, destroy the session.
session_destroy();
?>

I had already added that code last week...doesn't seem to work. Also the email confirmation is not working. Please advise.

Are you ever getting to the success page for the code to take effect?


Can you try closing your browser completely, then test it?

I was able to get past the previous issue with the token error...but i'm back to the other error above which, after going to paypal and coming back the customer gets the message "cart is empty" and the sale doens't go through.
